Start by double checking the amounts you entered for boxes 16 and 17 of any W-2's and look for misplaced decimals and/or extra zeros.

Go back where you entered income and check the state section of the form. You probably misplaced a decimal point or entered a comma in the section for state income taxes withheld.
